How Do I Love Thee?

I love you more than all the bull

That you'd been telling me,

I love you more than all those guys

That you had shagged for free,

I love you more than love itself,

For it is just a word,

I love you more than kitty cats

And chirping little birds,

I love you more than hollow lines

Of Hallmark poetry,

I love you more than little faith

That you'd placed in me.



I love you more than all your lies

And your bisexual ways,

I love you more than all your art

That I've come to hate,

I love you more than puny geeks

That you've been living with,

I love you more for teaching me

That I have more to give,

I love you more than empty sex

And lost virginity,

I love you more because I've learned

That love must start with me.
